Naguib Mahfouz at the Aly Baba Cafe

Mr. Mahfouz gave me permission to take his picture early one morning in 1991,
while he read the paper at his favorite table before going to work. He
used to come here every day and make himself available to just about
anyone who wanted to talk to him. RIP Died August 30 2006 at the age of 94.
